What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Agatha Christie taught me two things: that plotting mysteries was an art, and that a woman detective could be as strong a character as a male detective.” - Charles Todd, New York Times bestselling author of the Ian Rutledge mysteries and Bess Crawford mysteries
“The Murder at the Vicarage was my gateway drug into crime fiction at the age of nine and I’ve never regretted the addiction!” - Val McDermid, award-winning author of the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series
“When she really hits her stride, as she does here, Agatha Christie is hard to surpass.” - Saturday Review of Literature
About The Author
Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold more than a billion copies in English and another billion in a hundred foreign languages. She died in 1976, after a prolific career spanning six decades.
Lucy Foley
Lucy Foley is a No.1 Sunday Times, Irish Times, and New York Times bestselling author. More than 10 million copies of her books are in print worldwide, and several are currently being adapted for the screen. She is a Waterstones Thriller of the Month author, a three-time nominee at the British Book Awards, and The Guest List was a Reese’s Book Club selection and winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery Thriller.
As a life-long Agatha Christie fan, Lucy has drawn immeasurable inspiration from the Queen of Crime. She was one of 12 writers to contribute to Marple, a collection of short stories featuring the beloved detective. And in Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel, she was inspired to transport Miss Marple - her favorite Christie creation - to the glamorous post-war setting of the Swiss Alps, in a mystery that feels gloriously escapist yet utterly relevant to our times.
